Hello Everyone,

Following my motherboard problems (See "What to do with kernel panics?"), I have decided to buy myself another motherboard (the one I got apparently supports FSB up to 400MHz; my P4 runs at 533MHz).

I am looking at the Albatron PX845PEV-800 (or perhaps the Albatron PX865PE PRO II). I would like to know if anyone has had any good/bad experiences with these, as well as how compatible they are with Linux (I am going to do a search on that myself too, but I want a real-world opinion).

Well I for one have never heard of them (which in my book is not a good sign. it doesn't mean they are bad, just that they are an unknown and support may hence not be that good.) I am one of those people that only buy Asus boards. For a P4, the P4P800-DLX is a very nice board. It is an i865 based board, which seems to be the most popular for P4s at the moment (i875 seems overpriced). Lennart Sorensen -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
